Hope you'll forgive "cheating" a bit by offering a TV quote instead of a movie quote, but I think my favorite of all time is "The freedom to make my own mistakes was all I ever wanted" (Mance Rayder from Game of Thrones).

Some things that might make it easier for folks to answer your question: 1. What do you mean by a "regular" AC circuit? 2. What do you mean by a "different type of circuit"? 3. What specific ground connection are you making? 4. What do you mean by "alternating voltage changes from...

I agree wholeheartedly that it's annoying, but I would add the caveat that this is not a new phenomenon, and it's not restricted to the media. The reason the term "horsepower" exists is because James Watt needed a way to advertise his steam engine and found the most convenient method was to...

My biggest general sci-fi beef has always been the speed of shots fired. From Star Wars blasters to Star Trek phasers and everything in between, you always see slow-moving energy emissions that the target (especially if it's a "good guy") can easily duck away from. My assumption is that rounds...

I doubt we'll see Thrawn or any of Zahn's creations. Pity, because Mara Jade was always my favorite SW character (I'm also a big fan of Thrawn himself). Maybe one day they'll make a standalone movie for her (or him). My guess for the plot Episode IX is that the First Order will be preparing...

I'm definitely looking forward to this movie. Han Solo was always my favorite SW character, excluding the EU/Legends (in which case Mara Jade becomes the best). I think the movie is going to come down to how well Alden Ehrenreich can capture the "essence" of the pre-New Hope Han Solo that...

I would say the only two batteries that could be successfully paralleled would be if they are the same model and both brand-new. Even then, I would contact the manufacturer to ask if they recommend this.

What's ironic is that that's the exact reason I dislike Rey. She's the "perfect" Jedi despite not having any working knowledge OF the Jedi.

If that was the case what's the point of even having a Jedi Academy, or even a Jedi Order at all? That statement is completely contradictory to the first six movies. If no one has to teach you how to use the Force, why do they even bother having Masters and Apprentices in the first place? I...

A T-16 is a smaller aircraft made by the same people who make the X-wing. We don't know it, but they do, hence Biggs' line. Seriously, watch the extended version of ANH. Biggs Darklighter, Luke's childhood friend who flew with him on Tatooine, and who already IS an expert fighter pilot...

"It's not impossible, I used to bulls-eye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than 2 meters". In addition, the expanded version of ANH shows Luke's childhood friend Biggs Darklighter (Red 3) explaining to Garven Dreis (Red Leader) that Luke is the best canyon flyer in the...

Luke grew up flying a T-16 Skyhopper through Beggar's Canyon (long, windy, narrow terrain) on Tatooine shooting unguided weapons at small targets. The T-16 is manufactured by the same company (Incom Corporation) that builds the T-65 X-wing Luke flew down a trench (a straight trench nonetheless)...

It was very contrived. That was the whole point of Rogue One. It was put there on purpose by one of the Death Star's designers, essentially as an act of sabotage. Of course that conflicts with the novel "Death Star" in which it's a construction oversight, but that's Legends.

In what is now Legends, Corran Horn was able to absorb a barrage of hundreds (possibly thousands) of blaster bolts in a short period of time; he still got beat shortly thereafter in a lightsaber duel. Having skill over blaster weapons does not make a Jedi invincible. Admittedly that's the...

1. We don't know it was seawater. Maybe that island's in a big freshwater lake. It is an alien planet after all. 2. It was submerged on Dagobah, didn't stop him from flying off to Bespin 3. You'd think a Jedi Master could get his timing right. Considering this is sci-fi there is no right...
